3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
A true Baltic Porter! Leave it to the motherland guys. Dense, dark brown with a light head. Strong and dense with malty flavors that include hints of chocolate and roasted coffee beans. For being 9.4% ABV, this guy packs it’s punch while maintaining a well-balanced character.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours black with a creamy brown head, almost a delicate lace and good retention. Notes of coffee and some malt. For a 9.4% beer is very smooth and enjoyable enough...great value for the dollar..
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
As the name indicates, this beer poured a nice thick black with a thin tan head. There was chocolate, alcohol, and maybe some sour cherries in the aroma, as well as some breadiness as is breathed a bit. The flavor had lots of chocolate and coffee with a slight creaminess. The malt body balanced the alcohol. It finished smooth. This was a great beer for the price ($2.80 for 500ml bottle) and a good beer regardless of price.

A very smooth porter. I enjoyed it very much. The taste isn’t overwhelming, and it has a hint of molasses. Very sweet, highly recommended.
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Didn’t care for this at all. Odd flavor, strange finish. I’m chalking up to just not getting the Baltic porter style.
4.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
Wow. caramel, sweet malt, chocolate, molasses- The high alcohol is completely masked by the sweet satisfying flavor. This is a great drinking porter! Don’t let the price fool you! This is inexpensive excellence. And, a FULL PINT of easy drinking 9.4 ABV for a little over a buck and a half is really a "no-brainer".
4.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
An excellent example of a true porter. Plenty of toasty malt flavor and aroma. Dark red in color. No head. Round palate.

It pours jet black intimidation, goes down like molasses, hit’s you with a wicked 9.4 percent, then demands you thank it. Thank you Black Boss, may I have another?
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
pours with a head which quickly dissipates into a nice lace. smells bready with a touch of cocoa and sweetness. the 9.4 % alcohol is well hidden, heavy malt flavors are well pronounced. for $1.99/.5L bottle this is an excellent buy, and an outstanding example of baltic porter
